24.01.2022 Our Primary and Secondary students competed today in the State Paper Plane competition. Some went long while others fell short however theres no doubt they all had fun!

24.01.2022 After an enormous year, you might be feeling a little like this as you head towards the 'silly season' but remember to STOP and REST and enjoy each wonder-filled moment with family and friends. Resting may not mean putting the feet up. In fact putting the feet up is rarely a thing we do at Christmas time! True rest is leaning on the knowledge that God has got you. He cares for your every thought. You can trust Him. He's got you!

23.01.2022 The changing face of Excursions... Our HSC Ancient History students participated in lectures on Pompeii and Herculaneum via zoom with Dr Brian Brennen. The Learning Must Go On!

23.01.2022 Secondary breakfast canteen on this morning! Always a great start to the day!

22.01.2022 When the weather is so beautiful what do you do? Measure the mass of things outside of course. Year 2 having fun with the (frustrating) difference between estimation and fact when measuring mass.

21.01.2022 Mr May has been busy replacing our old and tired dining room ceiling and its come up a treat! Thanks to Finn in Year 10 who has been working super hard with Mr May as part of his work experience. Mr May has been seriously impressed with Finns work ethic and practical abilities. Im sure youve slept well Finn! Mr May is a bit sore from going up and down, up and down and up and down the ladder for a few days.

20.01.2022 Our HSC students completed their trials last week. An understandably stressful time so well done to all of them!

18.01.2022 Congratulations to Olivia Morgan, one of our graduating Year 12 students for receiving early entrance to Charles Sturt University to study Bachelor of Paramedicine. All your hard work has paid off. Well done Liv!

18.01.2022 Remember this currency? Year 2 have been using olden day 1 and 2 cent coins as they apply mathematics to counting currency. Who remembers the wonderful 1c freckles? You could get a whopping 5 in a little white paper bag and feel like a winner!

18.01.2022 Our wonderful School Counsellor Mel Hayde, has published a book "Toddler to Teen - how to equip, encourage and enjoy your children". We have limited copies for parents to borrow, however if you would like to purchase a copy, please email Mel - [email protected]

18.01.2022 Our Year 9/10 Outdoor Elective class has been busy learning new skills this year. Quite sadly for them, their trip to the Snowy Mountains was cancelled due to COVID restrictions. So, in an effort to put some of those new skills to use (under strict COVID guidelines) Mr Bunton has come up with a way for the students to put theory into practice. Yesterday students enthusiastically left MCC under the warm rays of sunshine to spend the day exploring local mountain bike trails in ...Blackheath. On their return, stories of success were told and tales of woe relayed - again and again, however they all returned in one piece! Today, under a slightly cooler cloudy sky the students are here on the grounds of MCC testing survival skills - team against team, fire against fire (safety first of course with only 2 matches), shelter against shelter, culinary skill against culinary skill, sleuth against sleuth. A Mission Impossible!

17.01.2022 On a cold, wet and windy day its good to remember somewhere in the world it looks like this! And just a side note, your children are dry and warm here today Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!

17.01.2022 The Busy Kindy Class Theyve been discovering the need for wheels, researching maps, making their own cars and creating their own towns to put everything together. What a clever kindy bunch!

16.01.2022 As we say goodbye to 1 legend - Mr Dale Killeen, who Im sure you would agree, turned the grounds of the College into an incredibly beautiful space for our students to enjoy, as well as constantly coming up with ingenious ways to sort out all types of practical problems; entertain staff with his mischievous character and be an all round fantastic man; we say hello and introduce you to another legend - Mr Ben May. Ben is married with 3 children, is a horticulturist by trade who ran his own landscaping business and has managed Camp Fletcher in Hazelbrook for the past 12 years. When we said goodbye to Dale we wondered how we could possibly replace him, yet God provided as always! Ben (and his beard) is a great blessing already and brings a huge wealth of skill and knowledge. Welcome to MCC!
